OFFSHORE: Weather this week has kept most people at the dock, but the holiday weekend forecast is looking pretty good at time of writing. Looks like it could shape up to be a very dolphin filled weekend. The storm passing south of us could help push some debris up the gulfstream, and hopefully some dolphin riding with it. Look for the dolphin in 300-600' of water, and possibly deeper if that stretch of water is barren of signs of life. Trolling ballyhoo, bonita strips, and squid should be effective, as will drifting and chumming. Either way, be sure to keep an eye out for fishy looking areas including; weed lines, debris, current rips, color changes, and large areas of baitfish. Blackfin tuna are biting in 200-300' of water as well, so keep some small trolling feathers or daisy chains in the spread for those tastily little guys. Wahoo should still be in the 150-300' range. May not be red hot wahoo fishing, but should be enough around to make dragging the lures around worth while. Split tail mullet and horse ballyhoo are also a good choice for the wahoo. Kingfish are scattered along the 120' ledge. Snapper fishing is still very good, with some nice mutton and yellowtail snapper around.
INSHORE: Snook season is back open, and it's game on right now. Plenty of snook around for those looking to try and catch one in the slot. The snok will be around area bridges at night, and tucked up against seawalls and under boat docks during the day. Starting to see a few trickles of finger mullet coming in, and that is what the snook will be cued in on right now. Keep that in mind when picking out your lures, and be sure to have a X-Rap or Vudu Mullet tied on. Should be a few tarpon mixed in with the snook, and most likely some bruiser jacks. Still some mangrove snapper biting inshore around the bridges as well. SURF/PIER: Fishing along the beach and at the Juno Beach Pier remains good with a good amount of assorted action. Snook season is open and the snook are still along the beach and at the Pier in good numbers. Low light periods of the day will be the best time to target them, especially for those hoping to catch them on lures. Rapala X-Raps, Yo-Zuri Minnows, and silver spoons are all good choices to throw in the surf early in the morning and then again later in the afternoon. The Juno Beach Pier has seen good action on the snook, a few kingfish, good numbers of spanish mackerel, and lots of jacks. The blacktop sharks are along the beach, as are a fair number of tarpon. Even been a handful of pompano floating around. Lots of good stuff going on if you get a chance to go...you should!
